I'll look into it more closely after exams (if it isn't sorted by then) but
I think in the case of GRUB (from what I've read wrt the hacks to get it to
work) it's because /dev/md/0 doesn't correspond to a BIOS device.
I get the general impression that GRUB, whilst a very cool bootloader, is a
bit rough around the edges when you want to do some of the more esoteric
stuff...
